A fantastic piece of modern architecture.

The building is nice. I would put more trees tho...and more grass, like large grassy terraces scaled on different levels towards the canal instead of the concrete plaza. God loves a land lover... thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it.

Hi! I'm new to this forum, in fact it's the only forum I've been on...so just feeling my way. Don't know how to start a new thread without "replying" to someone first, but will try this anyway. I would like to hear from any members who are descendants of my great grandfather, Alberto Bioletti, as I am writing a biography about his life. I have a lot of material already, fand some family trees but always looking for more.
I noticed a Christine earlier on... if you get this message, please reply and maybe we could get together via e-mail sometime? Am I doing this right folks?

MERSEY Ferries is to be given a 125-year lease for the land to build its new £10m building at Liverpool’s Pier Head.

It comes as Merseytravel, the authority which runs Mersey Ferries, is also in negotiations to operate the new prestigious cruise liner facility which is due to open in September.

Last night, Merseytravel bosses said the granting of the lease was the final piece of the jig-saw before work on the new ferry building could start.

It is hoped work on the new facility will start later this month, with the scheduled opening next summer.

According to a report for Liverpool City Council’s executive board, Merseytravel will pay £30,000-a-year in rent for the site or 7% of the market rental of the property, whichever is higher.

The authority will be given a 12-month rent-free period to reflect the expected construction period.

Under the agreement, the council will rent an additional piece of land to the current site from Mersey Docks and Harbour Company.

The whole of the site will then be let to Merseytravel so that the new facilities can be repositioned.

A spokesman for Merseytravel said: “This is a good example of co-operation between partners.

“It shows that things are moving forward on the scheme.”

In March, Merseytravel was given permission to demolish its current building.

The new facility will have improved café and retail amenities, waiting areas, easy access to a new landing stage and a river viewing area.

The low-rise design, which has not met with favour in all quarters, has been developed to retain the spectacular view of the Three Graces from the river and the views of the river from Water Street and Brunswick Street.

The Daily Post revealed that one of the world’s biggest holiday operators, Thomson Cruises, is to base a luxury liner in Liverpool.

A record 30 cruises, carrying around 50,000 passengers, will start in Liverpool during 2008 to destinations such as the Amazon, Greenland and the Mediterranean.

Thomson is joining Fred Olsen Cruise Lines and Page and Moy and Saga, who are all stepping up their 2008 programmes from the Mersey.

Great that's the final piece of the jigsaw for that site.
